Description

Walking device for active rolling

Technical field

The present invention relates to a walking apparatus for active rolling with an upper part comprising a shoe upper which is a foot-mounted walking apparatus, wherein the shoe upper is made of leather, textile or other natural or synthetic material, and a sole formed at least the middle sole, the lower sole and the sole, the middle sole being solid, hard and elastic, the lower sole having a thickness between 0.5 and 5 cm and being soft and elastic and the sole being hard and elastic.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

A man with his highly complicated connection of ligaments, muscles and tendons and a sensitive upright spine is built to move forward on an uneven earth surface in case. For many millennia man has also strained his body under this natural condition.

Only in the last 100 years did man begin to reshape the earth's surface on a large scale and move daily on an artificially flat and hard earth surface. When a person moves on these surfaces, the body is used in a completely different way than nature had expected, and it was from this brief period of human history that problems with the back, joints, blood vessels, etc. began to spread epidemically.

Man invented the wheel a few thousand years ago to transport goods. He realized then that this practical means of transporting large loads over long distances. The flatter the transport routes, the easier it is to transport. For this reason, he adapted the transport routes to a bicycle and made them flat.

So, about 100 years ago, when a man began to change his environment in which he was moving in style and equipped them with a predominantly flat earth surface, he would have to change his walking gear, at least by putting it on, so that it can also “roll” on a flat everyday earth surface. Only in this way can the natural swinging movement be maintained while walking, and thus a healthy musculoskeletal system. However, the footwear industry has completely missed this development.

Walking is much easier on flat ground. It is even so light that it seduces passive walking. This results in impacts to the joints and spine. Uneven load on the locomotive system also causes that some parts of the locomotive apparatus are not loaded at all and others are overloaded. But the 10,000 steps a person takes on average per day are straining the human body. Inadequate and one-sided musculoskeletal loads caused by passive walking, joints and unilateral loads on muscles, tendons and ligaments cause widespread problems with the back, joints, veins and feet.

Normal heel shoes did not adapt at all to walking on flat surfaces. In any case, orthopedic shoe insoles and soft-soled shoes are available on the market that allow you to walk barefoot, but there are no shoes that would force people to actively engage their locomotor system and thus simulate a surface roughness that is very important for his musculoskeletal system.

Slight disabilities or postural disturbances that cause a yaw or flat foot are addressed, for example, by pads that fit into normal shoes. It is assumed that the constant wear of the inserts will eventually lead to the correction sought. Unfortunately, the opposite is true. Lightweight muscles weaken because there is no stress. Therefore, it is not possible to expect that the state of possession will dynamically change and further develop, and the locomotive system is expected to do little or no at all.

- I GB 302556 B6

For example, in the case of minor disabilities, it is not appropriate to use permanently acting measures, such as wearing pads. It is too easy for a liner user who wants to improve one bad hold by using a static correction to acquire another new bad hold.

Neither shoes nor the above-described and in many articles and patents mentioned means of walking contribute to the fact that the entire walking system must be involved in active walking and it determines itself and in the short term how to use muscles, tendons and spine for active walking. Not only orthopedic shoes, but also pads can only be changed by an orthopedic specialist. Therefore, the existing means are unsuitable for training both briefly and possibly transiently, holding errors and locomotive organ arrangements in a targeted and short-term manner.

Physiotherapy often helps by recommending appropriate exercises and movements. However, this has the disadvantage that the therapy is not permanent, that is, it cannot occur during normal walking, work, etc., and the patient often does not even perform the few recommended exercises.

WO 99/03368 discloses an apparatus with a central sole, an underlying sole and a lower sole for supporting an actively rolling gait, the lower sole having a convex, arcuate or circular sector-like shape.

Another apparatus for walking with a convex sole is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,030,213, wherein the convex section is in the rear section of the sole.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to improve a shoe or some other shoe article of the kind initially mentioned in such a way as to provide improved rolling. This means that the 10,000 steps a person takes in a day will have a natural rolling course. The uniform load of the whole body helps to save joints, develop muscles, protect the joints, increase muscle mass, straighten posture and improve blood circulation (“venous pump”). The walking device for active rolling walking should be designed by a specialist and adaptable by the user himself.

Walking top-walk walking machine consisting of a shoe upper, which is a foot-mounted walking apparatus, the upper of which is made of leather, textile or other natural or synthetic material, and a sole made of at least the middle sole, a lower sole and soles, the middle sole being solid, hard and elastic, the sole having a thickness between 0.5 and 5 cm and being soft and elastic, and the sole being hard and elastic, according to the invention, which consists in that the middle sole and lower sole are separated from each other by the middle sole pad, the middle sole pad and the outsole have an arbitrarily convex, arcuate or circular segment shape and that a larger, wedge-shaped padding in the front third of the shoe completely fills the space rear two rubs The sole of the shoe is of any shape, the remaining space between the middle sole pad and the sole being filled with a soft lower sole, maintaining the convex outer contour of the sole.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The figures show preferred embodiments, which will be explained in the following description.

The walking apparatus 1 according to the invention for active rolling walking consists of a shoe upper 2 and a sole 3. The shoe upper 2 serves to securely fasten the walking apparatus 1 to the foot. This fastening can be solved by straps such as used in sandals, laces such as used in beach shoes or the entire upper of 2 shoes of leather or textile. It is important that the sole is firmly and comfortably connected to the middle sole 10 by means of this upper 2 of the shoe.

The sole 3 may be formed differently. It consists essentially of at least one sole 10, a bottom sole 12 and a sole 13. In order to increase the flexibility of the walking apparatus 1, a pad 11 of the middle sole 10 can be inserted between the middle sole 10 and the bottom sole 12. the walking apparatus 1 decides how the walking apparatus 1 is constructed. This is one of the advantages of this walking device 1. It is tailored to the needs of certain groups of application targets and can still be set individually.

The middle sole 10 is made of a conventional material and is to be relatively hard, but always adapts to the purpose of use, so that a different hardness, i.e. a different material than for casual wear, is chosen for the training shoes. The pad 11 of the middle sole 10 is made of a rigidly elastic material. However, it further has sufficient strength to absorb the forces that result from the deformation of the sole 12. the middle sole 10, on the other hand, is sufficiently stable to safely support the rigid pad 15 with the bumps 14. The lower edge portion of the middle sole 10, or any pads 11 of the middle sole 10, is optionally or downwardly convex, arcuate or circular segmented in any shape. This shape is chosen according to the purpose for which the walking apparatus 1 is to be used.

The lower sole 12 is the most important part of the walking apparatus. On the side opposite the terminating sole 13, it has a convex, arcuate or circular segment of any shape. It is made of an easily deformable and flexible material that gives the user the feeling of walking barefoot in the sand with tram-like effect. The rolling process, as shown chronologically in FIGS. 3, 4 and 5, requires, like walking on sand, to exert a certain active force. In the final rolling phase, as shown in FIG. 5, the rolling process is to terminate the tram after a new effect of a certain kind. The sole 13 serves primarily to protect the lower sole 12 from wear and gives the walking device 1 a slip resistance. It is made of a highly flexible, abrasion-resistant and elastic material that collapses immediately when rolled. Thereby, during rolling, it always adapts to the shape of the lower sole 12 described above. Accordingly, suitable means are fastened to the lower sole 12 so that the bumps 14 can be fixed individually and without complications.

-4 CZ 302556 B6

The construction of the sole 3 according to the invention, which consists of the sole sole 10, the sole sole 10, the bottom sole 12 and the sole 13, allows any adaptation. If the device also needs to be used for walking, such as massages, foot or foot correction, spine statics or foot reflexes, etc., the middle sole 10 and the lower sole 12 may be cast from one piece. In many cases, the transition from the relatively hard middle sole 10 to the soft elastic sole 12 is smooth. In production, this method of manufacture offers advantages in terms of weight. In any case, the sole 3 is terminated by a sole 13 having the convex shape already described several times.

The lower sole 12 may be composed of layers or different parts. For example, it is apparent from FIG. 3 that for the step of FIG. 3 it is evident, for example, that for the step of FIG. 3, the first composition of the sole is selected for the rear third IV of the sole 3, 4 shows the second composition of the mixture and then the step on the front third II of the sole 3 according to FIG. The set rolling target determines the choice of the composition and construction of the sole 3. Here, materials that are highly deformable and flexible but which also guarantee a good return effect are selected.

Especially for orthopedic applications, the option shown in FIG. 2 is not suitable according to the invention, in which it is possible to mount a hard pad 15 on the pad 11 of the middle sole 10. The hard pad 15 may have different shapes and sizes. The material chosen may have different hardness and elasticity. The shape, hardness and elasticity to be chosen is determined by where the walking apparatus 1 will be used. With these hard pads 15, it is possible to improve the condition of, for example, deflected or flat feet, poor knee, hip or spine positions. However, this hard pad 15 also allows for massage effects, stimulates reflexes in the areas of the feet and schedules the desired movement pattern. It is achieved that the walking apparatus 1 can be used in such a way that it contributes to strengthening certain muscles and actively supporting the skeletal apparatus.

The bumps 14, which are intended to be fastened to the sole 13, can be fixed both firmly and lightly. If they can be freely replaced, like bumps on football boots, it offers the user the advantage and the ability to set certain training effects themselves. The walking device according to the invention thus becomes a training device which can be adapted to varying training needs.

The described bumps 14 may have any shape and various sizes. Hardness and elasticity can be adapted to the intended use. Of course, other obstacles of any shape, size, elasticity and other material properties may also be attached to the sole 13. They can be fixedly connected to the sole 13 or can be detachably attached to the sole 13.

The sole 13 serves as an end and a protective layer of some or all of the parts of the entire sole 3. It can be arranged around the sole 3 and, if desired, can be pulled up to the upper 2 of the shoe.

In Fig. 6 it is shown that the hard padding 15 can be large in size and fills the entire front third II of the sole 3. At point x of section B-B, the padding 15 has a thickness d that extends wedge up to the tip I of the walking device. The space between the pad 11 of the middle sole 10 and the sole 13 is completely filled with this hard panel 15 shown. All four forward facing surfaces P, PS Q and Q 'of the wedge can be formed in any shape and are adapted to the outer contour of the walking apparatus 1. active rolling walking. The fifth, rearwardly directed wedge surface R, for example, shown in cross section along the plane B-B in FIG. 10, extends in each shape up to the heel V. FIG. 11 and 14 illustrate possible shapes of the embodiment of this portion of the hard filler 15. Of course, the shapes of the surfaces P, P /, Q and O 'vary according to the shape of the back of the hard filler 15. The fifth surface R may be delimited by different lines a, a /, b and b / a divided into segments R, R \ R as shown in Fig. 14.

-5GB 302556 B6

The shape of the hard filler 15 in the middle section of the third ΠΙ and in the last rear section of the third IV may be formed as desired, as shown in the examples in Figures 11 and 14. Not only outwardly bounding lines aa and y that connect points x and z respectively xa z ' but also the middle line b, tf, shown in Fig. 14, seemingly as a "crest", which connects the points yav and the points yl and V, respectively, can run essentially arbitrarily.

Line b will be arranged exceptionally in the middle. A deliberate one-sided load on the locomotive apparatus, in particular the muscles, is achieved for the user of the walking apparatus 1 from the center diverted by the arrangement.

io

In order to avoid or mitigate the risk of fractures while walking, an infinite arc zone of line b, which connects an infinite number of points x and y, can form circularly shaped surfaces R1 of each shape as shown in Figure 11.

The space between the sole 11 of the middle sole 11 and the sole 13 is in each case filled with hard padding 15 and a soft bottom sole 12. There are no air pads. The hard padding 15 and the lower sole 12 are adapted to each other so as to form an outer perceptible shape which is closed off by the sole 13 underneath.
